Overview

At-risk populations include those undergoing cytotoxic chemotherapy or other myelosuppressive medications, however a benign form of mild neutropenia is commonly identified in certain ethnicities (blacks, Yemenites, West Indians, Arab Jordanians). This latter group rarely develops complications from their neutropenia.
